Norris will pitch Wednesday against the Orioles if he’s not dealt before a 3 p.m. CT Wednesday deadline.

The Astros’ No. 1 starter was pulled to prevent injury in case he’s traded, but Porter had no indication a deal is imminent.

“Bud has been made well aware of why we decided to scratch him (Tuesday), with the notion that he might get traded,” Porter said at Oriole Park. “There is also the possibility that he remains with us.”
